CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE AND HIGH INCOME FUND, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), CALAMOS ADVISORS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”) and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“Jones”) previously entered into a sales agreement dated September 30, 2011, as amended, (the “Prior Agreement”). The parties hereby terminate the Prior Agreement and confirm their agreement in the form of this Sales Agreement (this “Agreement”) as follows:

1. Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Fund agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through Jones, acting as agent and/or principal, up to six million two hundred thirty two thousand one hundred sixty seven (6,232,167) of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest, no par value per share (the “Shares”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the number of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Fund, and Jones shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of Shares through Jones will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Fund and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

The Fund has entered into (i) an Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser dated as of May 1, 2003, (ii) a Master Custodian Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company dated as of September 11, 2009, (iii) a Stock Transfer Agency Agreement with The Bank of New York dated as of June 15, 2007, (iv) an Amended and Restated Financial Accounting Services Agreement with the Adviser dated as of December 13, 2004, and (v) a Master Services Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company dated as of March 15, 2004, as effective with respect to the Fund as of October 21, 2004 and such agreements are

herein referred to as the “Advisory Agreement,” the “Custodian Agreement”, the “Transfer Agency Agreement,” the “Accounting Agreement” and the “Administration Agreement,” respectively. Collectively, the Advisory Agreement, the Custodian Agreement, the Transfer Agency Agreement, the Accounting Agreement and the Administration Agreement are herein referred to as the “Fund Agreements. In addition, the Fund has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which holders of Shares shall have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional common shares of beneficial interest unless they elect to receive such dividends in cash, and such plan is herein referred to as the “Dividend Reinvestment Plan.”

The Fund has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Investment Company Act”), with the Commission a registration statement on Form N-2 (File Nos. 333-205640 and 811-21319) (the “Original Registration Statement”), including a base prospectus (“Basic Prospectus”), with respect to the Shares. The Fund shall prepare one or more supplements relating to the Shares (collectively, the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Basic Prospectus, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act. The Fund shall furnish to Jones, for use by Jones, copies of the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, the Original Registration Statement, as amended when it became effective, including all documents filed as part thereof, and including any information contained in a Prospectus Supplement most recently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Basic Prospectus, as it may be supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by the Fund with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).

2. Placements. Each time that the Fund wishes to issue and sell Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify Jones by e-mail notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Shares to be sold, which shall, at a minimum, include the number of Shares to be issued (the “Placement Shares”), the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made and the discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to Jones (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which, containing such minimum sales parameters necessary, is attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Fund set forth on Schedule 3 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Fund listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from Jones set forth on Schedule 3, as such Schedule 3 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon receipt by Jones unless and until (i) in accordance with the notice requirement set forth in Section 4, Jones declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold, (iii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in

Section 4, the Fund or Jones suspends or terminates the sale of Placement Shares related to such Placement Notice, (iv) the Fund issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) the Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 12. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to Jones in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2, unless superseded by the terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Placement Notice. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Fund nor Jones will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Fund delivers a Placement Notice to Jones and Jones does not decline, within the time period specified in Section 4, such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.

3. Sale of Placement Shares by Jones. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Fund’s issuance of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Jones, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. Jones will provide written confirmation to the Fund no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Fund with respect to such sales, with an itemization of deductions made by Jones (as set forth in Section 5(a)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Fund. The Fund and the Adviser each acknowledge that Jones intends to sell the Placement Shares in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales made directly on the The NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”), the then-existing trading market for the Shares or sales made to or through a market maker or through an electronic communications network, or in any other manner that may be deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, in each case at or above the net asset value of the Fund’s common shares as determined by the Fund as of the close of regular trading on the NASDAQ on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Trading Day on which Jones has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount, in accordance with Section 23(b) of the Investment Company Act. To the extent that Jones acts as the Fund’s agent with respect to any such sale, Jones covenants that it will comply with all prospectus delivery requirements imposed under applicable federal and state securities laws. Jones will not use any advertising, sales literature or other promotional material (including “prospectus wrappers,” “broker kits,” “road show slides” and “road show scripts”), whether in printed or electronic form, in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares (collectively, “sales material”) that has not been authorized in writing or prepared by the Fund or the Adviser in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares. To the extent that Jones uses any sales material that has been authorized in writing or prepared by the Fund or the Adviser in connection with the offering and sale of Placement Shares and such sales material is required to be filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) under FINRA’s conduct rules, Jones or its counsel will file such sales material with FINRA within the time

periods required by FINRA’s conduct rules. Jones covenants that any statements that it or its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates make in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares will be consistent with the disclosure in the Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Fund and the Adviser each acknowledge and agree that (i) there can be no assurance that Jones will be successful in selling Placement Shares, and (ii) Jones will not incur any liability or obligation to the Fund or the Adviser or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by Jones to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Section 3. For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day the principal exchange or market on which the Shares are listed or quoted (which, as of the date of this Agreement, is the Exchange) is open for trading.

4. Suspension of Sales. The Fund or Jones may, upon notice to the other party in writing within two business days following the delivery or receipt, as applicable, of the Placement Notice (including by e-mail correspondence to all of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3 or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or e-mail correspondence to all of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3)), suspend or refuse to undertake any sale of Placement Shares; provided, however, that such suspension or refusal shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no such notice shall be effective against the other unless and until it is made to the individuals named on Schedule 3 hereto in accordance with this Section 4, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time.

(a) Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the third (3^rd) Business Day (or such earlier day as is agreed to by the parties) following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Fund on a Settlement Date against the receipt of the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) Jones’s commission, discount or other compensation for such sales payable by the Fund pursuant to Section 2 hereof and (ii) any transaction fees properly imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales.

(b) Delivery of Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Fund will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting Jones’s or its designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and, upon receipt of such Placement Shares, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, Jones will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Fund prior to the Settlement Date. The Fund agrees that if the Fund defaults on its obligation to deliver Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Fund and the Adviser each agree that, in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 10(a) hereto, it will (i) hold Jones harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and

expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Fund and (ii) pay to Jones any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

The Adviser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement; the execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Adviser of its obligations under this Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by the Adviser; and this Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement have been duly executed and delivered by the Adviser and constitute the valid and legally binding agreements of the Adviser, enforceable against the Adviser in accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal or state securities laws and subject to the qualification that the enforceability of the Adviser’s obligations hereunder and thereunder may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

(6) Description of the Adviser. The description of the Adviser and its business and the statements attributable to the Adviser in the Prospectus complied and comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act and did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(7) Non-Contravention. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the Advisory Agreement or the Accounting Agreement nor the consummation by the Fund or the Adviser of the transactions herein or therein contemplated (i) conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a breach of the organizational documents of the Adviser, including without limitation, its articles of organization, certificate of formation or similar organizational documents and its operating agreement, limited liability company agreement, membership agreement or other similar agreement, (ii) conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a breach of or a default under, any agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument to which the Adviser is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or (iii) violates or will violate any statute, law, regulation or filing or judgment, injunction, order or decree applicable to the Adviser or any of its properties or will result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Adviser pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which the Adviser is a party or by which the Adviser may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Adviser is subject.

(8) Agreements’ Compliance with Laws. This Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement comply in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act.

(9) Absence of Proceedings. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Adviser, threatened, against or affecting the Adviser which is required to be disclosed in the Prospectus (other than as disclosed therein), or that could reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect or to materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof (in each case, other than as disclosed in the Prospectus), or that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the performance by the Adviser of its obligations under this Agreement, the Advisory Agreement or the Accounting Agreement; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Adviser is a party or of which any of its property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, could not reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect.

(10) Absence of Further Requirements. (A) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign, and (B) no authorization, approval, vote or other consent of any other person or entity, is necessary or required for

the performance by the Adviser of its obligations under this Agreement, the Advisory Agreement or the Accounting Agreement, except such as have been already obtained under the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act, the rules and regulations of FINRA and NASDAQ and such as may be required under state securities laws.

(11) Possession of Permits. The Adviser has such licenses, permits and authorizations of governmental or regulatory authorities (“permits”) as are necessary to own its property and to conduct its business in the manner described in the Prospectus; the Adviser has fulfilled and performed all its material obligations with respect to such permits and no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the Adviser under any such permit.

(12) Adviser Compliance with Policies and Procedures. The Adviser has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures under Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Advisers Act by the Adviser and its supervised persons.

(13) Absence of Manipulation. The Adviser has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security to facilitate the sale or resale of the Placement Shares, and the Adviser is not aware of any such action taken or to be taken by any affiliates of the Adviser, other than such actions as taken by Jones pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Certificates. Any certificate signed by any authorized officer of the Fund or the Adviser identified on Schedule 3 attached hereto, as such Schedule may be updated from time to time pursuant to notice properly delivered to Jones pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement and delivered to the representatives or to counsel for Jones shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Fund or the Adviser, as the case may be, to Jones as to the matters covered thereby.

8. Covenants of the Fund and the Adviser. The Fund and the Adviser, jointly and severally, covenant and agree with Jones that:

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of any relevant request by the Commission, as applicable, the Fund will promptly advise Jones (i) when, during any period that a prospectus relating to the offer or sale of Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any amendment to the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares shall have become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or for any additional information, affecting or in respect of the Placement Shares, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (iv) the receipt by the Fund of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Fund will not file any amendment to the Registration

Statement affecting the Placement Shares or any supplement to the Prospectus affecting the Placement Shares unless the Fund has furnished Jones (either directly or through its legal counsel) with a copy for its review prior to filing. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Fund will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act. The Fund will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. The Fund will timely file the requisite copies of the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497(c) or Rule 497(h) under the Securities Act, whichever is applicable or, if applicable, will timely file the certification permitted by Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act and will advise Jones of the time and manner of such filing.

(b) During any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Jones under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares, the Fund will comply so far as it is able and in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act, as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of the Placement Shares during such period in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Prospectus, and will file with the Commission and NASDAQ all documents pursuant to the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act in the manner and within the time periods required by the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act, so far as such compliance and filings are necessary to permit the continuance of sales of the Placement Shares during such period in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Prospectus. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would, to the knowledge of the Fund and the Adviser, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is, to the knowledge of the Fund and the Adviser, necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Fund will promptly notify Jones to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Fund will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(c) During any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Jones under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares, the Fund will use reasonable efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on NASDAQ and to qualify, if necessary, the Placement Shares for sale under the securities laws of such United States jurisdictions as Jones reasonably designates and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that the Fund shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities, file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, or meet any other requirement in connection with this Section 8(c) deemed by the Fund to be unduly burdensome.

(d) The Fund will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Fund’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement covering a 12-month period that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(e) The Fund agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with performance of its obligations hereunder and in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all expenses incident to the issuance and delivery of the Placement Shares (including all printing and engraving costs), (ii) all fees and expenses of the registrar and transfer agent of the Shares, (iii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares, (iv) all fees and expenses of the Fund’s counsel and the Fund’s independent public or certified public accountants and other advisors, (v) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing, filing, shipping and distribution of the Registration Statement (including financial statements, exhibits, schedules, consents and certificates of experts) and the Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and this Agreement, (vi) all filing fees, distribution fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the Placement Shares for offer and sale under the state securities or blue sky laws, (vii) the fees and expenses associated with listing the Placement Shares on NASDAQ, (viii) the filing fees incident to the review by FINRA of the terms of the sale of the Placement Shares, and (ix) all other fees, costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Fund of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Fund shall reimburse Jones for an amount equal to no more than one-half of all fees and expenses of Jones’ counsel reasonably incurred in connection with Jones’ obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation the negotiation of this Agreement (the “Reimbursable Amount”). The Fund shall pay to Jones the Reimbursable Amount in addition to such discount, commission and other compensation payable to Jones as contemplated by Schedule 2. The aggregate amount of any discount, commission, expense reimbursement or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to Jones in connection with Jones’ performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto. The Adviser agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses of its counsel.

(g) The Fund will, at any time during the term of this Agreement, as supplemented from time to time, advise Jones immediately after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document required to be provided to Jones pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) The Fund will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by Jones or its agents, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, as Jones may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Fund shall be required to make available documents and senior corporate officers only (i) at the Fund’s principal offices and (ii) during the Fund’s ordinary business hours. The parties acknowledge that the due diligence review contemplated by this Section 8(h) will include during the term of this Agreement (i) a bring-down diligence conference among Jones and certain officers of the Fund’s operations or legal departments upon the issuance by the Fund of a Placement Notice and (ii) a diligence conference to occur as promptly as practicable following the Fund’s filing of each of its annual and semi-annual reports on Form N-CSR and N-CSRS, respectively (the “Reports”) whereby the Fund will make its

senior corporate officers, including portfolio managers, reasonably available to address certain diligence inquiries of Jones and will provide such additional information and documents as Jones may reasonably request. The requirement to conduct a due diligence session under this Section 8(h) shall be waived if at the time such due diligence session is required pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to issue a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date (as defined below), the Fund shall participate in the due diligence session contemplated by this Section 8(h) at or prior to the issuance of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares.

(i) The Fund agrees that on such dates as the Securities Act shall require, the Fund will (i) file a Prospectus Supplement with the Commission under Rule 497 under the Securities Act, which Prospectus Supplement will set forth, within the relevant period, the amount of Placement Shares sold through Jones, the Net Proceeds to the Fund and the compensation payable by the Fund to Jones with respect to such Placement Shares, and (ii) deliver such number of copies of each such Prospectus Supplement to each exchange or market on which such sales were effected as may be required by the rules or regulations of such exchange or market.

(j) During the term of this Agreement, each time the Fund (i) files a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares, (ii) amends or supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares by means of a post-effective amendment or supplement (other than a Prospectus Supplement filed in accordance with Section 8(i) of this Agreement or a post-effective amendment solely to file this Agreement as an exhibit to the Registration Statement) or (iii) files a Report (to the extent not already covered by subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 8(j)), each of the Fund and the Adviser shall furnish Jones with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(j)(1). (Each date contemplated in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 8(j) is referred to herein as the “Representation Date”). With respect to post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 8(j), if the Fund is not otherwise permitted (including by no-action relief granted by the staff of the Commission) to rely on Rule 486(b) regarding the effective date of a post-effective amendment, the Representation Date shall be the date the Commission declares such amendment effective and all Representation Date deliveries relating thereto which are required by Section 8 shall be delivered on or as promptly as practicable following the date of effectiveness of such amendment. If the Fund is permitted (including by no-action relief granted by the staff of the Commission) to rely on Rule 486(b) in connection with the filing of a post-effective amendment, then the Representation Date shall be the date such post-effective amendment is filed with the Commission. The requirement to provide Officer’s Certificates under this Section 8(j) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of such certificate pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to issue a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date, the Fund shall provide Jones with such Officer’s Certificates at or prior to the issuance of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(k) Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 8(k), on the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, the Fund shall cause to be furnished to Jones with a written opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP (the “Fund Counsel”), dated the Representation Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(k)(1) (for the filing of the initial Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares), and Exhibit 8(k)(2) (for subsequent dates), but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, or in such other form or forms as are acceptable to Troutman Sanders, LLP, counsel for Jones; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion, counsel may furnish Jones with a letter to the effect that Jones may rely on a prior opinion delivered under this Section 8(k) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Representation Date). Insofar as any opinion of Fund Counsel relates to or is dependent upon matters governed by Delaware law, Fund Counsel will be permitted to rely on the opinion of Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP. In the event that a Representation Date is triggered by the filing of the Fund’s semi-annual report, only the opinion identified in Exhibit 8(k)(2) shall be required. The requirement to provide the opinion of Fund Counsel contemplated by this Section 8(k) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of such opinion pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to issue a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date, the Fund shall provide Jones with such opinion of Fund Counsel at or prior to the issuance of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(l) Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 8(l), on the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, the Adviser shall cause to be furnished to Jones with a written opinion of Vedder Price P.C. (the “Adviser Counsel”), dated the Representation Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(l) (for the filing of the initial Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares), but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, or in such other form or forms as are acceptable to Troutman Sanders, LLP, counsel for Jones; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion, counsel may furnish Jones with a letter to the effect that Jones may rely on a prior opinion delivered under this Section 8(l) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Representation Date). In the event that a Representation Date is triggered by the filing of the Fund’s semi-annual report, no opinion identified in this Section 8(l) shall be required. The requirement to provide the opinion of Adviser Counsel contemplated by this Section 8(l) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of such opinion pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to issue a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date, the Fund shall provide Jones with such opinion of Adviser Counsel at or prior to the issuance of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(m) On the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, or any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Jones, each time that the Registration Statement is amended or the Prospectus supplemented to include additional audited amended financial information the Fund shall cause its independent accountants to furnish Jones letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date of each Representation Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Jones, (i) confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Representation Date requiring a Comfort Letter is triggered by the Fund’s filing of a Fund semi-annual report, the Fund shall deliver to Jones on the date of the applicable semi-annual report a certificate of the Fund’s chief financial officer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(m) (the “CFO Certificate”) in lieu of a Comfort Letter. The requirement to provide a Comfort Letter, or CFO Certificate, as applicable under this Section 8(m) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of the Comfort Letter or CFO Certificate pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to issue a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring applicable Representation Date, the Fund shall provide Jones with a Comfort Letter or CFO Certificate, as applicable, at or prior to the issuance of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(n) On the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, each of the Fund and the Adviser shall furnish Jones with a certificate of its respective Secretary, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(n), or in such other form or forms as are acceptable to Troutman Sanders, LLP, counsel for Jones. The requirement to provide Secretary’s Certificates under this Section 8(n) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of such Secretary’s Certificates pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to issue a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date, the Fund shall provide Jones with such Secretary’s Certificates at or prior to the issuance of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(o) Each Placement Notice issued by the Fund to Jones shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at the time such Placement Notice is issued, and that the Fund has complied in all material respects with all of the agreements to be performed by it hereunder at or prior to such time.

(p) The Fund (including its agents and representatives, other than Jones in its capacity as such) will not make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), required to be filed with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares hereunder, except by means of the Prospectus or, upon Jones’ prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, other sales material permitted by the Securities Act or Investment Company Act.

(q) The Fund will comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

(r) Without the written consent of Jones, the Fund will not, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares (other than the Placement Shares offered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, Shares during the period beginning on the fifth (5^th) Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which any Placement Notice is delivered to Jones hereunder and ending on the fifth (5^th) Trading Day immediately following the final Settlement Date with respect to Placement Shares sold pursuant to such Placement Notice; provided, however, that such restrictions will not be required in connection with the Fund’s issuance or sale of Shares pursuant to (i) the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and (ii) conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants, options or other rights in effect or outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

(s) The Fund will furnish to Jones and its counsel (at the expense of the Fund) copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus relating to the registration and issuance of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement that are filed with the Commission during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as Jones may from time to time reasonably request.

(t) Each of the Fund and the Adviser acknowledges and agrees that Jones has informed the Fund that Jones may, to the extent permitted under the Securities Act, Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act, purchase and sell Placement Shares for its own account at the same time as Placement Shares are being sold by the Fund pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) the Fund shall not be deemed to have authorized or consented to any such purchases or sales by Jones and (ii) no such purchases or sales shall take place while a Placement Notice is in effect (except to the extent Jones may engage in sales of Placement Shares (i) purchased or deemed purchased from the Fund as a “riskless principal” or in a similar capacity or

(ii) with respect to errors that cause Jones to take an unplanned principal position, in each case only to the extent such sales are permitted under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act).

(u) The Fund will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Fund to facilitate the sale or resale of the Placement Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Placement Shares, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Shares other than Jones; provided, however, the Fund may issue and sell shares of the Fund’s common stock pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

9. Conditions to Jones’ Obligations. The obligations of Jones hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Fund and the Adviser herein, to the due performance by the Fund and the Adviser of their respective obligations hereunder, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by Jones in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

(a) The Registration Statement shall have become effective and shall be available for the sale of (i) all Placement Shares offered pursuant to all prior Placements and not yet sold by Jones and (ii) all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued by the Placement Notice relating to such Placement.

(b) None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Fund of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to or affecting the Placement Shares; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, including any notice objecting to the use of the Registration Statement or order pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Investment Company Act having been issued and proceedings therefor initiated, or to the knowledge of the Fund, threatened by the Commission; (iii) receipt by the Fund of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Fund’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is required.

(c) Jones shall not have advised the Fund that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of a material fact regarding Jones that in Jones’ opinion is material, or omits to state a fact regarding Jones that in Jones’ opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading.

(d) Except as contemplated or disclosed in the Prospectus, there shall not have been any material change, on a consolidated basis, in the authorized capital stock of the Fund or any Fund Material Adverse Effect or Adviser Material Adverse Effect, or any development that may reasonably be expected to cause a Fund Material Adverse Effect or Adviser Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Fund’s securities by any rating organization or a public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Fund’s securities, the effect of which, in the case of any such action by a rating organization described above, in the sole judgment of Jones (without relieving the Fund of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(e) Jones shall have received the opinion of Fund Counsel required to be delivered pursuant Section 8(k) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinion is required pursuant to Section 8(k).

The Fund will furnish Jones with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents as Jones shall reasonably request.

(k) All filings with the Commission required of the Fund by Rule 497 under the Securities Act to have been filed prior to the giving of any Placement Notice hereunder shall have been made within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 497.

(l) The Placement Shares shall have been approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject only to notice of issuance.

(m) There shall not have occurred any event that would permit Jones to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(a).

(n) Prior to the date hereof, FINRA shall have confirmed that it has no unresolved objection with respect to the arrangements set forth herein.

(a) Indemnification by the Fund and the Adviser. The Fund and the Adviser, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Jones, its directors, members, officers and each person, if any, who controls Jones within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

(1) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 497 under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any sales material, any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(2) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 10(e) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Fund and the Adviser; and

(3) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Jones), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (1) or (2) above, provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Fund or the Adviser by Jones expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) Indemnification by Jones. Jones agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Fund and the Adviser, each of their directors, trustees, members, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 10, as incurred, but only with respect to (i) any failure by Jones to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements applicable to the Placement Shares; and (ii) untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Fund or the Adviser by Jones expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The Fund and the Adviser acknowledge that Jones has not furnished any information to the Fund for inclusion in the Prospectus.

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: counsel to Jones, its directors, members, officers, and each person, if any, who controls Jones within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by Jones; counsel to the Fund, its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act shall be selected by the Fund; and counsel to the Adviser, its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Adviser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act shall be selected by such Adviser. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for Jones, its directors, members, officers, and each person, if any, who controls Jones within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Fund, each of its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if

any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Adviser, its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person who controls the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Adviser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and the fees and expenses of more than one counsel, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 10 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a)(2) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) Other Agreements with Respect to Indemnification and Contribution. The provisions of this Section 10 hereof shall not affect any agreements among the Fund and the Adviser with respect to indemnification of each other or contribution between themselves.

(1) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Fund and the Adviser on the one hand and Jones on the other hand from the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Fund and the Adviser on the one hand and of Jones on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(2) The relative benefits received by the Fund and the Adviser on the one hand and Jones on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the Net Proceeds from the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Fund and the Adviser and the total discounts and commissions received by Jones as calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2 bear to the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

(3) The relative fault of the Fund and the Adviser on the one hand and Jones on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Fund, by the Adviser or by Jones and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(4) The Fund, the Adviser and Jones agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10(f) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if Jones were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10(f). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 10(f) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(f), Jones shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price of the Placement Shares actually distributed by Jones exceeds the amount of any damages that Jones has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(6) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(7) For purposes of this Section 10(f), each person, if any, who controls Jones within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contributions as Jones, and each person who controls the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Fund and the Adviser and each trustee, director or member of the Fund and the Adviser shall have the same rights to contribution as the Fund and the Adviser.

(g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10 and the representation and warranties of the Fund and Adviser set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Jones, its directors, members, officers, and each person, if any, who controls Jones within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and or by or on behalf of the Fund and/or the Adviser, each of their directors, trustees, members, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor, or (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to Jones or to the Fund or the Adviser, its respective directors, trustees, members, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 10.

11. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations and warranties of Jones, the Fund and the Adviser herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Jones, any controlling persons, or the Fund and/or the Adviser (or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

(a) Jones shall have the right by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time to terminate this Agreement if (i) any Fund Material Adverse Effect or Adviser Material Adverse Effect, has occurred which, in the reasonable judgment of Jones, may materially impair the investment quality of the Placement Shares, (ii) the Fund or the Adviser shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in all material respects any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder; provided, however, in the case of any failure of the Fund or the Adviser to deliver (or cause another person to deliver) any certification, opinion, or letter required under Sections 8(k), 8(l), 8(m), or 8(n) Jones’s right to terminate shall not arise unless such failure to deliver (or cause to be delivered) continues for more than thirty (30) days from the date of such Representation Date pursuant to which such delivery was required; provided, further, that, Jones shall have the right to suspend its obligations hereunder, regardless of whether a Placement Notice is pending, beginning on the sixth (6^th) day after the date of any Representation Date if any certification, opinion, or letter referenced in the foregoing proviso has not yet been (or caused to be) delivered; (iii) any other condition of Jones’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Placement Shares or in securities generally on NASDAQ shall have occurred. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8(e), Section 10, Section 11, Section 16,

Section 18 and Section 20 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If Jones elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 12, Jones shall provide the required notice as specified herein.

(c) Jones shall have the right, by giving notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time following the period of twelve (12) months after the date of this Agreement. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8(e), Section 10, Section 11, Section 16, Section 18 and Section 20 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(d) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 12(a), (b) or (c) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 8(e), Section 10, Section 11, Section 16, Section 18 and Section 20 shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 12(b) and 12(c), any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by Jones or the Fund or Adviser, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Sections 12(a), 11(b) or 11(c), Jones shall not be entitled to reimbursement for its out of pocket expenses except to the extent otherwise agreed by the parties.

Name:		Trent McNair
Title:		Chief Financial Officer

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Capital On Demand™ Sales Agreement among Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund (the “Fund”), Calamos Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“Jones”) dated April 15, 2016 (the “Agreement”), I hereby request on behalf of the Fund that Jones sell up to 6,232,167 shares of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest, no par value per share, at a minimum market price of $ per share.

ADDITIONAL SALES PARAMETERS MAY BE ADDED, SUCH AS SPECIFIC DATES THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD ON, THE MANNER IN WHICH SALES ARE TO BE MADE BY JONES, AND/OR THE CAPACITY IN WHICH JONES MAY ACT IN SELLING SHARES (AS PRINCIPAL, AGENT, OR BOTH).

The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation (other than the Reimbursable Amount), to be paid by the Fund to Jones shall range between 100 and 250 basis points of the gross proceeds with respect to sales actually effected by Jones, with the exact amount of such discount, commission or other compensation to be specified in the Placement Notice.

The undersigned, the duly qualified and elected of CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE AND HIGH INCOME FUND (“Fund”), a Delaware statutory trust, does hereby certify in such capacity and on behalf of the Fund, pursuant to Section 8(j) of the Sales Agreement dated April 15, 2016 (the “Sales Agreement”) among the Fund, Calamos Advisors LLC and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, that to the best of the knowledge of the undersigned:

(i) Except for non-material exceptions as may be set forth on Annex A hereto, the representations and warranties of the Fund in Section 7(a) of the Sales Agreement (taking into account all materiality qualifiers and other qualifications contained therein) are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, with the same force and effect as if expressly made on and as of the date hereof; and

(ii) The Fund has complied in all material respects with all agreements and satisfied in all material respects all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied pursuant to the Sales Agreement at or prior to the date hereof.

The undersigned, the duly qualified and elected of CALAMOS ADVISORS LLC (“Adviser”), a Delaware limited liability company, does hereby certify in such capacity and on behalf of the Adviser, pursuant to Section 8(j) of the Sales Agreement dated April 15, 2016 (the “Sales Agreement”) among the Adviser, Calamos Convertible and High Income Fund and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, that to the best of the knowledge of the undersigned:

(i) Except for non-material exceptions as may be set forth on Annex A hereto, the representations and warranties of the Adviser in Section 7(b) of the Sales Agreement (taking into account all materiality qualifiers and other qualifications contained therein) are true and correct on and as of the date hereof, with the same force and effect as if expressly made on and as of the date hereof; and

(ii) The Adviser has complied in all material respects with all agreements and satisfied in all material respects all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied pursuant to the Sales Agreement at or prior to the date hereof.

1. The Fund has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “Delaware Act”). The Fund has the statutory trust power and authority to own property and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus.

2. Under the Delaware Act and the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Fund dated as of September 13, 2006 (the “Governing Instrument”), the execution and delivery of the Sales Agreement and each of the Fund Agreements by the Fund, and the performance by the Fund of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all requisite statutory trust action on the part of the Fund.

3. The Placement Shares have been duly authorized for issuance by the Fund and, when issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the terms, conditions, requirements and procedures set forth in the Sales Agreement, will be validly issued and, subject to the qualifications below, fully paid and non-assessable beneficial interests in the Fund. The holders of Placement Shares will be, subject to the terms of the Governing Instrument, entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that we express no opinion with respect to liability of any holder of Placement Shares who is, was or may become a named Trustee of the Fund.

4. Under the Governing Instrument and the Delaware Act, the issuance of the Placement Shares is not subject to preemptive rights.

5. The form of Placement Shares Certificate complies with all applicable requirements of the Delaware Act.

6. No authorization, approval, consent or order of any governmental authority or agency of the State of Delaware or, based solely on the Docket Search, an order of any Delaware Court, is required to be obtained by the Fund solely as a result of the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares, the consummation by the Fund of the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement and the Fund Agreements or the performance by the Fund of its obligations thereunder, or the adoption of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

7. The execution and delivery by the Fund of the Sales Agreement and the Fund Agreements, the consummation by the Fund of the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement and the Fund Agreements, the performance by the Fund of its obligations thereunder, the issuance and sale by the Fund of the Placement Shares and the adoption of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan will not violate (i) [the Certificate of Trust of the Fund as filed in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on April 17, 2002] (the “Certificate”) or the Governing Instrument or (ii) any applicable Delaware law or administrative regulation.

8. Based solely on the Docket Search, there is not in any Delaware Court any action, suit or proceeding pending against the Fund.

Counsel confirms that (i) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted by the Commission and (ii) the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, and the Prospectus, as of its date, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Based on the information and participation described above, no facts that have come to such counsel’s attention have caused it to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, as of its effective date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) the Prospectus, as of its date and on the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Such Counsel does not, however, assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements made or the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, except for those statements in the Prospectus under the captions “Description of Securities,” “Certain Provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, Including Antitakeover Provisions,” and “Certain Federal Income Tax Matters,” insofar as they represent descriptions or conclusions of United States federal law or descriptions of securities or summaries of documents referred to therein, which fairly summarize in all material respects such descriptions, conclusions or documents.

This letter does not express any view on the financial statements, notes, schedules or other financial or accounting data included in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

To such counsel’s knowledge, the Fund has not received any notice from the Commission pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Investment Company Act with respect to the registration of the Fund with the Commission under the Investment Company Act.

1. The Adviser is a limited liability company duly formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing and has a legal existence so far as the records of the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware show, and the Advisor is in good standing as a foreign limited liability company admitted to transact business in the State of Illinois. The Adviser has the limited liability company power to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectus and to execute and deliver the Sales Agreement.

2. The Adviser is duly registered with the Commission as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and to such counsel’s knowledge is not prohibited by the Advisers Act or the Investment Company Act from acting under the Advisory Agreement as investment adviser to the Fund, as contemplated by the Prospectus. To such counsel’s knowledge, there is no proceeding, inquiry or investigation pending that could reasonably be expected to result in the suspension or revocation of the registration of the Adviser under the Advisers Act, or any censure or limitation of its activities pursuant to Section 203(e) of the Advisers Act.

3. Each of the Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Adviser, and each of the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Adviser, enforceable against the Adviser in accordance with its respective terms.

4. The Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement comply in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Advisers Act.

5. The Adviser’s execution and delivery of the Sales Agreement do not, and the Adviser’s performance of its obligations under the Sales Agreement and each Adviser Agreement will not (a) violate any existing provisions of the Adviser’s organizational documents, (b) constitute a violation by the Adviser of any Applicable Law (except with respect to compliance with any disclosure requirement or any prohibition against fraud or misrepresentation or as to whether performance of the indemnification or contribution provisions in the Sales Agreement would be permitted, as to which we express no opinion) or (c) with respect to the Sales Agreement, breach, or result in a default under (nor constitute any event which with notice, lapse of time or both would result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under), the contracts of the Adviser set forth on Exhibit A hereto (provided that we express no opinion with respect to any financial test or cross-default provision in any such agreement), except in each case for such breaches, violations or defaults that would not have an Adviser Material Adverse Effect.
